Midland Angling guide Michael Flanagan reports:

I met with Ballymote Coarse angler as they fished one of their winter leagues near Dromod in Co Leitrim. Ballymote anglers are based in Co. Sligo, but travel across Leitrim, Roscommon, and Sligo fishing their winter & summer coarse angling matches.

I chatted to Alan Spencer who was competition captain on the day, and Alan really loves his fishing. The retired school teacher, originally from Liverpool, moved over to Ireland nine years back, having crossed the waters since the early seventies and fishing here in Ireland yearly. Last weekend’s match was won by Dave Rowkins of Strokestown with 6lbs 13oz, 2nd was Alan Spenser 5lbs 13oz, and 3rd Ballyhaunis angler John Randall.
